Are you looking for a way to communicate your ideas and tasks to your staff, colleagues, or partners? Are you getting lost in the myriad of email, searching through your in-box for that mail where Jack said something that you needed to remember but can’t quite find what he said, when he said it, or from which email he sent it!
Email is old-school, move on up to a communication device that delivers your messages to a select group of peps in a way that is easily seen, effectively used, and way cool—welcome to Yammer.
CEO of Mahalo Jason Calacanis describes Yammer as an opt-in time sheets without the guilt/pain, not for big brother reasons, but for true sharing and understanding between team members.
Jason is right on target, transparency is such a crucial element of any organization and workgroups can increase their productivity by simply letting each other know what is happening. It is amazing what synergy happens when we just open up.
Creating an account is easy, here are three simple steps to getting a yammer accout:
- 1) Go to yammer.com
- 2) Sign-up for a FREE account (quick and easy)
- 3) Send email to your peps telling them to log in
The one trick is that your group will need to have the same suffix email, i.e. @myjob.com. Once people sign-up email alerts are sent whenever something new is posted. You can upload files, images, and also use tags to organize your posts—getting organized is so cool.
Yammer is one of the best online tools to come around in a long time, give it a try! I got to run and get back to my yammer, and my tweats, and my facebook, my ‘x’ whatever is next.
